Malaysia Crime Statistic

Thanks to Kai Song :D YOU ROCK!!!!!

I think the main crimes in Malaysia are burglary, kidnapping, rape and snatch and run. For example the Nurin Jazlin murder case.

Nurin Jazlin binti Jazimin was an eight-year old Malaysian girl reported missing after she had gone to a wet market located near her house in Section 1, Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur to buy a hair clip on the night of August 20, 2007. She was last seen being dragged into a white van which the police were able to determine by enhancing footage caught on a CCTV installed nearby.

On the morning of September 17, 2007, a brand-new gym bag was left in front of a shop lot in PJS 1/48, Petaling Jaya, discovered by the shop owner. It contained an unidentified child's naked body which was stuffed in a fetal position; police believed that she had been dead for more than six hours before the discovery. A cucumber and a brinjal was found stuffed inside her genitals and had caused her rectum to rupture. It was determined that bacterial infection had contributed to her death. At the time, Nurin Jazlin's parents were not able to identify the body as their daughter's due to the changes in her physical features and it was even suggested that the child might be a foreigner, as she lacked scarring which would be caused by the mandatory BCG vaccinationagainst tuberculosis. Her parents initially maintained hope that their daughter might still be alive, and were the victims of several prank calls from people claiming that Nurin Jazlin was under their care. Later DNA tests conducted however confirmed the body as Nurin Jazlin's.

Reflection

Did you find rating the offences easy or difficult as an individual? Why?

I think it was easy for me to rate the offences as an individual because it was my opinion and from what I experience was different than other people.

Did you find rating the offences easy or difficult in a group? Why?

I think it was quite hard for me to rate the offences in a group because all of us had different opinions and we only had 2 that we all agree with.

What offences caused the most conflict/discussion? Why?

I think shouting racist abuse caused the most conflict/discussion because it was kind of a bad thing for shouting racist abuse because you're talking bad things about other people because they have different skin color or different religion than you. In the newspaper these days you can see many countries were fighting because of racism. So I think shouting racist abuse caused conflict/discussion.

What factors do we need to consider when looking at people’s perceptions of crimes/ offences?

The factors that we need to consider when looking at people's perceptions of crimes/offences are where are they from, the experience someone has to an offence etc
